Making Sandwich

Sandwiches are a favorite amongst children and adults alike, as they are so diverse and everyday can bring a new filling. They are also a sneaky way of getting some goodness into your children without them getting suspicious. Even with the markets advertising the readymade plastic covered meals, people still enjoy a homemade sandwich with their own choice of fillings. Making the sandwich can be easy and fun for the children to take part in and they are much easier for catering to needs such as allergies, likes, dislikes and bizarre filling groupings.
